The people of Wonderland have all lost their creative drive, and most alarmingly, even Queen Alyss is without her powers. There is some comfort in the fact that the vicious Redd Heart seems to be similarly disabled. Amazingly, she is attempting to team up with her enemy, Alyss, in order to reclaim Wonderland from King Arch. Alyss might have no choice but to accept Redd’s overtures, especially when she begins to receive alarming advice from the caterpillar oracles.<p> Page-turning and complex, this culmination of the Wonderland saga is intensely satisfying. 6358235 book 15 10 2009 ArchEnemy (The Looking Glass Wars, Book 3) total:154|5:45|4:47|3:47|2:13|1:2| 154 582 848 48 6178354 0803731566 9780803731561 151 47 3.78 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255635770m/6178354.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6178354.ArchEnemy 2 1 false Sun Dec 13 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Dec 13 08:53:09 -0800 2009 Sun Dec 13 21:06:57 -0800 2009 (4 for the world-building. 2.5 for the actual story.)

ArchEnemy is the sort of story that will make a visually stunning action movie. There's no doubt that Beddor can perfectly visualize every aspect of his detailed, intricate Wonderland.
